Watching the fight again , he looked almost like the normal Pacquiao for the first 4 rounds. Landing great shots, throwing combinations , countering well, , etc. Then it seemed like he coasted until the 10th or 11th, until the fake KD occurred, then he got pissed and brought the energy back out again and he started to hurt shane again. he complained about his leg , it could explain why he became so flat footed for such a long period. That was definitely the least energetic I've seen pacquiao in a while. i think he just overtrained and consequently looked a bit stiff , but on the flipside , he showed his power may be increasing. He was hurting shane with punches that he couldn't hurt some of his other opponents with, and Shane is known to have an iron beard.
He still won 11 of the 12 rounds. It should have been a shutout if it wasn't for the knockdown that was missed. Bottom line is pac is elite compare to the rest. Nobody can give him a tough fight at this point. Bradley-marquez-berto etc would all get owned then the excuses will come again.
ya pac has just set the bar pretty high. People expect him to run over all of his opponents. He's got that mike tyson effect. Every fighter has off nights tho.
Manny has problems dealing with a Jab and movement, nothing new. But with no right hands or combos behind the jab, he'll get to you eventually.
He had no problem with it the first 4 rounds and the last two rounds. In between , he just coasted pretty much. I think it has more to do with manny having an off night rather then him having trouble with shane .
